This is exactly right and I think a good example of why we shouldn't generalize. I grew up poor - and judge me however you'd like - but I'd put up with less ideal conditions if the pay was worth it. Reminds me of in college when I was a waiter - I typically didn't mind a table's behavior if I knew they were going to tip well.

  The thing is, in today's environment you can almost certainly get more cash comp at another company, almost no matter where you are. The stock can hold you back. The new company will probably give you more, but there will be a cliff. Often you can negotiate for something like giving you the stock money you'd get in the next 6 months as a hire on bonus. If you worked at a company for a few years and they went ipo, that's a different situation.
